The workplan of the WES project, for the year 2024, was presented during the online 5th Steering Committee Meeting (SCM), on 01/02/2024. The project’s achievements and challenges in 2023, as well as the updated plan of activities for this year were thoroughly discussed and endorsed. This SCM brought together more than 80 key stakeholders: the WES Water and Environment Focal Points from the Partner Countries, the European Commission, institutional partners, representatives of WES Demonstration projects, the Union for the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean Action Plan/UNEP.

Capacity accreditation reform is a hot topic these days, with grid operators grappling with how to properly account for the reliability benefits of different resources. My colleague Patrick Huang wrote an excellent insight looking at what reforms are underway and why. Give it a read if you want to understand more about where accreditation is going, expected winners and losers, and commercial implications from the ongoing reforms.

📊 Case Study: Mitigating Fracture Driven Interactions (FDIs) for Optimal Well Performance FDIs pose risks to both parent and child well production as well as parent well integrity. Often, FDIs lead to completion stages being cut short when a maximum threshold pressure is observed on the parent well. At ShearFRAC, we’re proactively tackling FDIs using real-time pressure monitoring and automated workflows. The results: Increased VFR and stage placement consistency along with an impressive 25% boost to child well production. Reach out to discuss how we can enhance your well performance through real-time FDI mitigation!

Reposting this ShearFRAC® case study on Fracture Driven Interactions (FDI) mitigation to focus the frac energy around the fracturing well while protecting parent wells.

ShearFRAC will work with you to mitigate the occurrence of FDI's. Heard that before, that's right that was in our post on Monday 😉 Take a look at this case study detailing how we did that for a client in the Eagle Ford. As a result of our efforts, and working with their crew, they were able to increase stage placement by 63% resulting in a 25% increase in production. https://lnkd.in/gFHX-War We would love the chance to discuss how we could partner with you utilizing real-time FDI surveillance and mitigation to reduce the possibility of parent well degradation and improve odds of thriving child wells.

🌱 Join us for an insightful webinar on "Sustainable Land Management: Principles, Practices, and Applications"! 🌍 During this session, we'll delve into key principles and practices vital for sustainable land management. The agenda includes an overview by UNCCD and ICFRE, engaging discussions led by trainers on sustainable land management application, and interactive dialogue among attendees. Our objective is to elucidate the crucial role of sustainable land management in achieving Land Degradation Neutrality and to raise awareness about ongoing initiatives by CoE-SLM, ICFRE, G20-GLI, and UNCCD for capacity enhancement on sustainable land management. Don't miss out on this opportunity to deepen your understanding and contribute to sustainable land management! https://shorturl.at/gBS89 #SustainableLandManagement #SLM #LandDegradationNeutrality #CapacityBuilding

I received this email today regarding the meeting last week discussing the CDPHE WQC's proposed Colorado protections of state waters. You can follow the first link to view a recording of the session, and the second link near the bottom to view a summary of stakeholder comments. Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting on January 23 with Speaker McCluskie and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to discuss legislative and policy options to address the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Sackett vs. EPA decision. We are pleased that nearly 100 people joined in person and 275 people joined virtually. The meeting recording is now available. https://lnkd.in/gbgttJSU During the meeting, we discussed legislative policy options. We will reach out with further information about future large group meetings. However, a large group meeting has not been scheduled. The Sackett v. EPA U.S. Supreme Court decision removed federal protection of wetlands and other waters. Under that decision, the type of waterbodies subject to federal jurisdiction and permitting is significantly narrowed. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) thereafter revised their regulatory definitions of "waters of the United States" to align with the Sackett ruling. Currently, the Corps issues permits in Colorado for dredge and fill activities. With fewer federal permits being issued by the Corps following Sackett, rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands in Colorado are at risk of irreversible harm. In addition, the decision leaves the regulated community with much uncertainty about the legal risk associated with their development projects (i.e., housing developments, flood prevention, etc.). A coalition of state agencies met with stakeholders during 2023 to discuss options to address this problem, and a summary of stakeholder comments can be found at this link. https://lnkd.in/gcjQ9Dm5 We look forward to discussing legislative and policy options to address this critical issue with you all.
